You may have seen Cat-chan’s EGL Ichigo that she premiered at Animefest 2006, and then you may have seen many more EGA and EGL costumes that she inspired show up at A-kon 18. Well, we are planning another get together at Animefest 2007! There are still many characters to snag and we hope more of you will join us!

The purpose of the EGL is for a female cosplayer to take a male bleach character and design a cute female EGL version of him.

The purpose of the EGA is for a male cosplayer to take a female bleach character and design a sexy male EGA version of her.

We have seen some really awesome original designs! Please join the madness! We discourage doubles, because there are so many characters that haven’t been done that we would like to see! However there are many options for one character. For example with Ichigo, you have Ichigo, ogichi, bankai Ichigo and hollow Ichigo! So as long as you are careful not to copy another cosplayers design and your costume has originality, many possibilities open up. But be careful not to hurt any feelings, because some cosplayers love doubles of them selves, whereas others loose the desire to make the costume.

Here is a list of characters taken and available that I will try to update frequently:

Feel free to suggest other characters to add to this list or give me a complete name.

I cannot claim this list to be complete or 100% accurate. That’s why I need your help to tell me any updates and keep me current. :)

06-10-2007, 09:43 PM

Awww, I really want to do this. Some are suggesting I do Renji, but agh! -_-; *unsure, but the idea of crossplaying people in EGL ..is oddly hot.

Cat-Chans

06-10-2007, 10:48 PM

Well, remember Afest is 4 days
In the bleach department I want to host 4 shoots
EGL
School Uniform
Sinigami March
and Main shoot

there will probably end up being an arracar shoot too
so I dunno what day to do everything
the Tea Party will probably need to be during the day again so we can picnic it again since there is not food in pannel rooms (again)

Koda89

06-11-2007, 12:11 AM

EGA Inoue will have slight improvements....such as, I finally have the hairpins now(bought them at A-Kon after the EGL/EGA shoot).

Oh course, I'm not wearing them in my hair. I stuck one of them on the blue ribbon on my hat, and the other I stuck in the chest pocket of the suit jacket.

I also carry around a Kon plush with me when I wear the outfit.

Othni is my friend. He doesn't have an account on here. I invited him to Afest. If he comes I might be able to trick...er...convince him back into doing Kuukaku. ^_^

xD When are the photoshoots gonna be? I won't be there Friday unless a miracle occurs *and I mean A GODLY MIRACLE...* Soooo... can you guys host the Bleach main shoot sometime late Saturday?? Pretty please T__T Otherwise i won't be able to make it, I'll try my best to get Saturday off cause I'm gonna do the most hilarious egl/crossdresser version of Ikkaku that I can.. hehehehhehe.. *faints* I hope you guys get a kick out of it if I can make it...xD Please put me down for EGL Ikkaku xD

Im sure you can get ahold of a thick old book for pretty cheep and then just paint it red. Try used book stores, thrift stores or pawn shops. I have seen some really cool looking obsolete books spraypainted gold for decorative purposes.

It will have to be in the morning/afternoon for the teaparty/ photoshoot. Im guessing either saturday or sunday. an offical time hasnt been decided. I think if anything happens on friday for other bleach shoots it will be in the evening, because people are still arriving.

mentioning the teaparty picanic thing, there is a really pretty little grassy area right outside the hotel with a fountain and waterfall thing. I think that would be a great place for the teaparty. There are even some shade trees. Let's all pray for beautiful weather.

Well I know for a fact the collar is white...but I cant find any good pics of him full body..it drives me insane! Im just trying to decide if red would look better or white..thats really all thats about..though I might have enough white left over from Rupi to use on this...hmm...

06-12-2007, 01:24 AM

if i can get the wig, id like to do renji if no one has claimed him yet.

so um i will tenativly sing up for renji. yes.

EDIT:
oh crap, im in the wrong forum. i would like to do this for onicon as i im not yet sure i will be going to afest yet. bad me. i feel so silly now.

Koda89

06-12-2007, 01:24 AM

Hmm......I think white is good enough. I never got why they went with the whole Red White Black color scheme for Bankai Ichigo/Zangetsu.

Also, I love how you're doing Zanny's glasses.

Yeh..its just Im proably going to be making a black overskirt and then I think white inside the skirt would look odd..maybe Ill go with red there.

Hehe thanks..I just doodled those in..Im still not sure wot glasses Im going to get yet. I need to get new ones..Ive had these for nearly 3 years now and well...theyre looking so stupid now.

I'm not sure if I can manage an EGL before A-fest...so...if it IS possible, I'd like to claim either Ukitake, or Hisagi, if those aren't taken. If I can't, then don't add me to the list. I'm sure I can have something by A-kon

Just because her hair is a certain style doesn't mean you have to keep it that way. Just as long as its true to the essence of the character with a hint of EGA to it. I suggest looking at EGA styles and seeing if anything rings true to Inoue's sense of style.

Oh I know that, I just narrowed it down to either keeping it straight or in a very long ponytail. Both of them look good. I guess I'll decide when my wig gets here.

This makes me incredibly angry! I had everything finished, and then I end up loosing some of the costume... maybe I wore it one time and just forgot to put it back. Hmmm...

Oh well.... At least I know I can for sure make the shoot now!

09-05-2007, 04:13 PM

The thought of EGL Szayel amuses me. XD Lots of pretty butterflies~

I'll try to make it, but it depends on how busy I am. <__<"

Also, when are you guys getting together next? I can't make Oni. There's a slight chance I can go to Ikkicon. But I will definately be at A-Kon.

I'm pretty sure we are. I just hope at the very least the core group of us(Me, Cat-Chan, Saejima, HackEd, Benhime, and Eared_Inu_Yasha) still do it every con we go to, because we lost a huge chunk of our group from A-Kon.

Personally, I'm done with Orihime, for now, and will make another EGA outfit.

I'm working on mine.

And I still have plans for EGL Urahara... I've got all the supplies, I just have to make it. I don't have my sewing machine with me at school, unfortunately, so I'll probably end up working on it over Christmas.

I realize this is the AFest forum and, therefore, totally the wrong place to ask this XDDD, but are you guys going to be doing Bleach EGL/EGA again at A-Kon '08? I saw you guys a few weeks ago, and now I'm really interested in joining in. *cough*Ulquiorra*cough* >>; <<;
